Post Reports
Great podcast! Love the way Martine keeps things flowing! I listen everyday on the way home from work.

Turkey carcass!?
I like to listen to Post Reports while cooking dinner and today was shocked (shocked!) at the turkey carcass story. What kind of person DOESN’T save their turkey carcass for soup? Of course I save the carcass - I always save poultry carcasses and beef scraps and root veg tops, etc. etc. Why is this funny? I also buy my coffee in bulk from CostCo. Perhaps we would all be better off if we threw away less.

Post Reports Washington is not a scary circus
This is one of my favorite podcasts. I look forward to pressing play afterwork and hearing that bell at the intro. Martine’s voice is so inviting. NYT’s daily podcast set the bar for me for a newsy podcast, but you guys really make me feel like I’m in the newsroom. Your stories really inform me of what’s going on and you make Washington not sound like a scary circus. The “one more thing” segment is how love to end my day. Keep up the excellent work.

Favorite place for news
This podcast is a cant-miss part of my daily routine. The topics are well-selected, and the reporting is succinct, informative, and entertaining. I recommend it to anyone that is looking for a brief podcast to stay informed. Perfect for the commute home from work!

No drama
This pod cast will keep you informed about current politics, environmental and social issues. It unfolds in a pleasant conversational mode. It lacks the breathless statements of facts that raise my blood pressure while staying current and relevent. The choices of and transitions between stories are simply easy to listen to. . Martine Powers as host, sets a curious, polite, and calm tone regardless of the nutty news . A fav podcast. I wish I could hear it first thing in the am.

What’s with the voice?
I absolutely loved the segment on the US deficit but I was so distracted by Heather King’s voice!!? It’s as if her throat needs to be cleared in a big way and it so takes away from the quality of the content.

Thoroughly enjoy!
Listen to your podcast everyday during my commute. When I’m all caught up I’m disappointed in having to wait a day for the next instalment. Great job to everyone involved. You provide food for the mind and soul 😊. I’m hooked.

Nice Cross Story Summary & News Beyond the Headlines
As an avid reader of the WAPO I wasn’t sure this pod cast would provide value but was pleasantly surprised. I love how they link multiple stories over time to talk about the bigger picture in ways I often hadn’t connected. I feel like They’re teaching history in real time.
Secondly the headlines tend to be too focused on the tweet or knee jerk event of the day. I love listening and hearing about that story I must have glossed over in the paper. There’s actually more time spent to the second tier stories than the headlines.
Thank you for Making News Great Again!

Came for the news, stayed for the journalism
I don’t watch news on tv, so I like to stay informed by listening to 2 daily news podcasts. I always hear the summary at the top of the show and think “meh, I’ll just listen to the actual news at the beginning then turn it off” but EVERY DAY the journalism is so outstanding and the stories are so beautifully told and intriguing that I stay for the entire episode. In fact, I love the journalism so much that this podcast made me get a full subscription to the Washington Post. As a 25 year-old woman ready to start a career, it’s great to hear from a confident, intelligent woman everyday. Keep it up Martine!

‘Available Episodes’
I think this WaPo podcast is excellent. A 3-star rating suggests that naysayers are playing games as this is a professional & really well presented (well done Martine Powers) & well deserving of 5-stars.

My weekday lunchtime love.
I look forward to Post Reports as my trusted lunchtime accompaniment. I love the balanced view, multiple subjects with just enough information to digest! Also, when the UK comes up I love to get a US opinion.
Thanks so much from the UK.

Quality podcast
Really enjoyable podcast, beats reading the newspaper if you don't have time. Only negative is that the same sponsorship commercial is played after every episode. It's quite a turnoff in my opinion.

Don’t tell Ari
I never thought a news podcast could compete with my beloved NPR, then there was you. Don’t worry, I’ll always be a monthly supporter of my local station and still catch All Things Considered when I can. (I’m a WP subscriber as well).

Good stories, good reporting
I enjoy listening to this podcast at the end of the day. It is informative and always ends on an uplifting note. I even like the triangle. I read the Post at lunch, but this is a good way to bring the day to a close.

Some people are awful....
Specifically, those nasty commenters who are complaining about a free daily podcast. Keep doing your thing, Martine + co. Democracy dies in darkness.

This is the way to get your news!
I LOOOOOVVVVEEEE this podcast. Completely addicted. It is so well done, easy to listen to and to understand. The level of investigative work done is remarkable and while it brings you awareness to very relevant news, it also does it in a way where you feel you learned something. The news are so “doomsday”, this podcast is the only way to get your news.

Fantastic way to end a day
I love listening to the post review before going to sleep. The music and the triangle chime let’s me know it’s time to relax and enjoy the next 28 mins. It is the only time during my day that I can disconnect from all the urgent matters going on here and abroad. Thank you for the great topics and interviews. I am subscribed to the post news paper, which I do enjoy reading, but the report is still the best 28 minutes of my day.
Great job and please keep going.
